She needs to be impeached now and every single day she isn't is a danger to our servicemembers as well as damn near everyone else.

Linda Davis, a K-8 special education teacher, was killed today after ICE pursued a driver fleeing a traffic stop in Georgia.

Linda Davis is one of many people who have died after coming into contact with ICE. The government doesn't record these deaths, but we do.
A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured
ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

Pedo prez & his enablers want us to move on from the Epstein horror. But, we won’t. The world is watching, and other countries are taking action. We must too. Hold all those accountable who participated &/or covered this up.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?

I'm so glad millionaires can more easily buy racehorses. It was really worth cutting education, clean energy, and healthcare to make that happen.
